How to Make an Arrow Symbol on a Mac
The Windows operating system uses a character map and keyboard shortcuts to display special characters. The Mac OS has a similar feature known as the character palette. You may want to insert arrows into a document to emphasize a particular word or phrase. Unfortunately, the Mac system has no keyboard shortcut to insert an arrow symbol; however, you can simply open the character palette and choose the directional arrow you want to add.
